This small territory contains 234 species of identified mushrooms, 110 species of identified lichens, 100 species of identified moss, and 1,110 species of identified plants. The southern and south-western slopes of this Slovakian hill and the western edge of Bratislava provide ideal living conditions for the thermophilous forest-steppe flora and fauna. The woods on the south-western slopes are the remains of the original oak forest.
